Iva Jankovic is a Dutch-Yugoslav visual artist. Located in Amsterdam, she creates in Nederland, Gujarat and Serbia. Merging her traditional fine arts education with crafts she’s transforming ideas into performance pieces, installations and unique  garments. Her fascination for communal memories is furthering a theory of homogeneity in human thinking. By deconstructing cross-cultural symbols and bringing them to a local environment she’s asserting sustainability as  a way towards decolonization. Iva’s work has been exhibited internationally at venues including: Haus der Kulturen der Welt Berlin, Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; Stigter van Doesburg, Amsterdam; Textile Museum, Tilburg; Kroller Muller Museum; The Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten, Amsterdam, NL; Watersnoodmuseum Nederland; Humanity House Museum, Den Haag; Museum Het Schip, Amsterdam; OSCAM – Open Space Contemporary Art Museum, Amsterdam and at multiple  events in Zurich, Basel, Berlin,Hamburg, Havana, Sofia, Skopje, and Belgrade. Her other creative work includes a collaboration with the Stichting de Vrolijkheid, a network of professional artists and cultural organisations that develop art projects in Dutch asylum seekers centres. Currently working with visual artist Antonio Jose Guzman   in the ongoing project Electric Dub Station. Together, they reinterpret the transatlantic connections of indigo textiles, which are deeply embedded with the history of western colonialism. Collaborating at the edge of visual art and performance since 2019, Amsterdam-based artists and decolonial fibre researchers, Iva Jankovic and Antonio Jose Guzman focus on the role of textile threads and their colonial past. Their works engage with Black Atlantic Metaphors and Afrofuturistic Mythologies.  The duo participated in presentations at the Stedelijk Museum, HKW Berlin, Textiel Museum, Art Basel, Stigter Van Doesburg, 18th Streets California, Barbican London and Dots Gallery Belgrade. Jankovic and Guzman are the founders of Messengers of the Sun, a performance art initiative with recent presentations at the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam
